...running for office can come up with a shopping list of budget cuts and new revenue sources (yes, yes, taxes) to close the deficit gap. The leadership challenge is getting at least 51% of Americans to agree to any particular list. A recent Gallup Poll for the Times Mirror Co. offered 20 possible deficit-reduction measures. Only three got majority support. Interestingly, all three were tax hikes: on people earning over $80,000, on alcohol and on tobacco...
...American nationhood by a foreign official. But to suggest that a maritime salutation could set in motion events that altered the world would seem to require a well-stocked imagination and a keen dramatic instinct. Readers of The Guns of August (1962), The Proud Tower (1966) and A Distant Mirror (1978) have good reason to know that Barbara Tuchman possesses both in abundance.

...Enter phone booth-shaped screening rooms to watch clips from All About Eve or Mary Tyler Moore's last episode with commentary from Directors Joseph L. Mankiewicz and Jay Sandrich.

"Come soon," she whispers through the mirror to her onetime son and would-be lover. "Come today...
...vice-presidential decision," Bush urged in a TIME interview three weeks ago. "That will tell all." To the Vice President, the selection of Quayle, 41, a blond, boyish, baby-boom, back-bench Senator from Indiana, represented a bold leap across generational boundaries. Bush, it seemed, had looked in the mirror and found what was most needed in the second-banana role that he had played for eight years: a younger version of himself. Quayle radiates the same bumptious enthusiasm, the same uncritical loyalty, the same palpable gratitude and the same malleable mind-set that Bush brought to the G.O.P. ticket...
